Shower tray repair near Briston

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

Shower tray repair in Briston without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Questions from Briston

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the next day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you work in Briston?

We do. Technicians travel to Briston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

  • Chips caused during fitting

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
